As anarchist communists we fight for a world without leaders, where power is shared equally amongst communities, and people are free to reach their full potential. We do this by supporting working class resistance to exploitation and oppression, organise alongside our neighbours and workmates, host informative events, and produce publications that help make sense of the world around us.

An anti-NATO organising committee is organising a mass anti-militarist demonstration in Edinburgh on Friday 13th November 2009 to coincide with start of a meeting of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly there on…

Please make every effort to participate the following demonstration called by the Solidarity Federation and supported by the Anarchist Federation. The demo is for comrades of the Anarcho-Syndicalist Initiative (ASI) in Serbia and others, including the General Secretary of the International Workers Association, who have been arrested and detained in Serbia on completely spurious charges of ‘international terrorism’.

Following the first demonstration on 11th Sept, another picket of the London Embassy of Serbia and Montenegro is called for Monday 28th September, 12-2pm. The Embassy is at 28 Belgrave Square, London, SW1X 8QB, nearest stations Victoria, Hyde Park Corner and Knightsbridge. Called by Solidarity Federation (the UK IWA section) in support of the ASI comrades repressed by the Serbian state. Please bring banners, placards and black and red flags.

An affinity group of anarchists who had been participating in Climate Camp and had been concerned about the tone and low impact of some of the mainstream camp actions decided to visit the Daily Mail head office in the hope of having a few words. The immediate trigger for this was the poor write up the Camp had received in that week’s paper which stereotyped those at camp as ‘young, posh idiots’, although all the activists involved had many other motivations for this action. Most of all, as working-class people with a sense of basic human solidarity, all those present detested the Mail for its sexist and racist overtones and long record of consistently scapegoating and demonising marginalised social groups such as immigrants, queers, transpeople, the unemployed, youth stigmatised as “chavs”, as well as specific instances like the incredibly inaccurate hack job of an article about anarchists in the run-up to the G20.

Before writing this article I decided to do some research on general issues surrounding the G8 protests. Using my trusty “googling” skills I started to browse through some online journals to see if there was a particular niche I could exploit on the “summit-hoppers” (as G8 protesters tend to be labelled) that regularly attended the protests.
